That is from the TV show Titus, the actress is Cynthia Watros who played Erin.
i hate fox for killing this show
me too!
me three! is it out on DVD yet?
The first three seasons are out in the US.
Papa Titus = teh awesomest!
Yes! It is on Dvd, I love it
I totally agree. Titus was one of the best shows from Fox. They are just too dim-witted to appreciate the better shows that they had. Titus always cracked me up because my home life was almost as dysfunctional as his! I didn’t truly appreciate that until both my parents passed away. I wish everyone could find this caption funny instead of arguing about it. I guess you just have to be on the same wavelength as those of us who enjoy this.
Fox is the murderer of many great shows.
Well, that’s one way of looking (hehe) at it. But everyone knows you’re supposed to create a prototype first, and then you come up with a new and improved version
yes, we have the look. and we know how to use it
But whatever you do, maintain eye contact. Do not LOOK at their ribs.
loved this show!!!
also in the picture is christopher titus, playing christopher titus..
as someone recently noted: “that was no prime rib”
Mythological B.S.
I’m so sick of the Churchies, who take everything absolutely LITERALLY out of that stupid book.
It’s like “Aesop’s Fables”; it’s not a history and science textbook, for F&@k’s sake!
*clap clap clap clap*
It seems to me this “churchie” thinks you are a bunch of IDIOTS. Our beliefs are NOT “mythological b.s.” they are what we feel and believe is TRUE. Believe in whatever you want, I could care less. But at least have the decency and respect for those who do believe as I or anyone else does!
I am female, and the idea that your God made me from a piece of a male, and ALL the other ideas that come with that–you know what they are–is offensive.
I am not “less than” nor “subject to” a male.
Stick that up your Bible. Your disrespect for my gender allows me to be disrespectful.
…and get me a beer while you’re at it.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing. You’ve already told her twice.
Hahahaha
I am female, married and subject to no one. I am responsible for my own actions. I respect all creatures with a few obvious exceptions and you just happen to be one of them.
Well, literal-Bible-reading female, your Bible says:
“The head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God” (I Cor. 11:3).
“The husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church” (Eph. 5:23).
“. . . subject to no one”? It depends on how much you want to take from that Bible.
P.S.
This is one of the major reasons I’m not a Christian, though I was raised and confirmed Lutheran.
P.P.S.
It’s been a long time, but yes–I’ve read the whole thing. Cover-to-cover.
You can read…I’m not impressed. And please, save your preaching for the folks who know HOW to do so.
Didn’t expect you to be impressed, clueless one.
Where was I preaching? Why would I preach a religion I don’t believe in? Oh! Was I preaching that you should actually LEARN what you claim to believe in? Gee, sorry for pointing our your ignorance, self-proclaimed Churchie.
Pretty sure you said THIS: “It seems to me this ‘churchie’ thinks you are a bunch of IDIOTS. Our beliefs are NOT ‘mythological b.s.’ they are what we feel and believe is TRUE.”
As an afterthought, I’ll throw you a bone: “The term ‘myth’ is often used colloquially to refer to a false story; however, the academic use of the term generally does not refer to truth or falsity. In the field of folkloristics, a myth is conventionally defined as a sacred narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form.”
You’re preaching because you can no more disprove God then we can prove Him.
Never said I was trying to “disprove God”. Boy, get a bunch of churchies together and they read letters that aren’t even on the page. ::sigh::
The only thing I’d *like* to convince you of is not taking the Bible so literally, but I realize that is likely not possible. At least pull your heads out of the 4th century, though, and realize the rib stuff was just a fable from a Neolithic culture.
Well, there’s certainly something to be said about not taking the Bible literally.
But I’d think you’d be doing yourself a favor by not calling us Christians “churchies” and letting everyone enjoy the lol
I dont think the point of the lol was to promote Biblical literalism anyway, and had more to do with referencing the story of rib from Adan’s side.
Hear Hear!
The idea that women were made from men is the result of womb-envy, pure and simple.
“I could care less”
If you COULD care less, why don’t you give it a try?
STFU and make me a sandwich.
lolololololol…with mustard?
Why do you believe that your creation myth is any more or less true than any of the various polytheistic creation myths? (take the Greco/Roman or Norse/German versions, since they’re probably the ones you’re most familiar with)
Whether it’s true or not, it’s something that many people know about and is therefore ripe for comedy.
This feminist here, while she doesn’t agree completely with you, is suddenly reminded of something. And will cease talking about herself in third person. Starting now.
It just astounds me how many people, people who are otherwise well-educated and reasonable, to this day believe men have one less rib on one side because God took it out to create women. It just boggles the mind.
I hear this one so often. It’s not that hard to research, seriously. Just find a really skinny male friend and count.
God sneezed and created jellyfish.
He got drunk and giggled Himself silly when he plopped down the platypus.
It is the most accurate historical record of the time periods contained within. Archeologists continue to prove the locations and cultures that exist in the bible that were thought to be just mythical.
Don’t bring up science. Religion and Science are two different things. Anyone claiming one disproves the other is retarded. That goes for both sides. Sciences is how the universe works. Religion is why it works.
It’s funny how you back up this “most accurate” assertion with archaeology, a science, yet follow it with, “Don’t bring up science. Religion and Science are two different things.” That is truly FUNNY!
No one said that the cultures that exist in the Bible were thought to be “just mythical”. I’ve never heard anyone say that. The stories these early, non-scientific cultures used to explain and justify the world around them are myths, and should be taken as such. It was the best they could do at the time, but that is all it was.
Hocus pocus, huh? Well, *poof* this churchie just turned you into a jackass! Oh, wait you already are one!
Well, then, since you’re a “churchie” you know that old line out of that book of yours: Judge not lest ye be judged. I think somebody better head back to church and not worry about internet comments.
I worry about what I please as I don’t take orders from a blockhead like you!
I will worry about what I want I do NOT take orders from you.
perhaps you don’t remember another old line from that book of ours, “Do unto others like you would have others do unto you”? so he was acting like a jerk to a jerk.
Bible Win lol
“Do unto others” is not “a jerk to a jerk”; “i_am_#1 (oh, how’s that sin of pride coming along?) would only respond with jerkiness if that was how she *wanted to be treated* . . . you’re thinking of “an eye for an eye” … a really lovely Old Testament sentiment.
What happened to “Turn the other cheek”?
Thats from Titus.. as in Chris Titus.
As long as the woman has the soft round things, and the pudding hole, “the look” can be patronizingly tolerated. No problem.
‘Cept we need no stinking “patron”.
And we don’t need little stiff things, so we don’t have to tolerate *you*. Toddle off down the road, now.
Run!!! It’s a feminazi that can’t take a joke. (I’m a woman, before you freak out, Naoyusimi.)
Is the joke you?
Use of the term “feminazi” is from Limbaugh. Go sit yo fat ass back down in front of the radio & listen to your REAL God.
You know what would help you?
Abellyfullov manspunk!
no, actually YOU are the joke.
Learn your Bible, and the joke won’t be on you next time, “i_am_#1″.
I am reminded of a punchline. I’ll change the setup to be apropos here.
Q: How many women does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: That’s not funny!!!!
You should power-vac that sand out of your vag.
Lame! Get ye back to junior high, before your parents are visited by the truant officers.
Why? My vag isn’t sandy at all!
Lol. You Feminazi BonerKiller! Get back in the kitchen, woman!
If it wasn’t so sad, it’d be amusing to watch the uneducated masses scrabble to think of something to say when an intelligent woman starts making too much sense.
A guy goes into a bookstore, and says to the woman behind the desk, “Can you tell me where the humor section is?”
“This is a feminist bookstore,” snaps the woman. “There is no humor section.”
This made me think of this joke:
“Lord, I have a problem.”
“What’s the problem, Adam?”, God replies.
“Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I’m just not happy”
“Why is that, Adam?”, comes the reply from the heavens.
“Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely.”
“Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a ‘woman’ for you.”
“What’s a ‘woman’, Lord?”
“This ‘woman’ will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you.”, replies the heavenly voice.
“Sounds great.”
“She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam.”
“How much will this ‘woman’ cost me Lord?”, Adam replies.
“She’ll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, an ear, and your left testicle.”
Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam says to God:
“Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?”
I think they were just using the whole “God made” stuff for comedic effect. Also, please explain how this is demeaning to women? It’s saying women keep men in line, showing that women have power over men to make them cringe with a look. Or Look, rather.
God made woman from a man’s rib.
This is why some people just can’t take a ribbing.
(XD)
That was actually fairly funny.
Awww, thank you.
But I gotta admit, I pirated that quip from a similar joke over at LolNews. (The chance to use it was too good to pass up, though. ^n_n^)
ZOMG GAWD DUZ NAWT ECKZIST!!! ZERO STARZ!
Okay, here is my effort to disprove most of the arguments before this:
First the religion one: Since it seems that you all cannot take this caption as a joke, I would like to say that you have no right to say the Christian religion (or any other) is wrong if you are an atheist. In this case, the Christian creation belief was accused of falsehood. Anyone who believes in evolution has no right to criticize this belief or say that is has no proof. You see, science and religion are on two different planes. Science, no matter how advanced, could never prove or disprove religion, but since belief in atheistic evolution is supposedly lack of religion, science COULD prove it correct, but it hasn’t. Since there is no more proof of evolution than of Christian Creation, and no more proof of a godless universe than of one with a god, Atheists are also depending on faith.
2nd, Women are getting offended by “the look”. It seems that those who are offended think that culture is against women. This “offensive” caption was a joke that *gasp* didn’t view women in an entirely positive light. Honestly, this is the first thing on internet/T.V. that i have seen in a while that would be offensive to women in a pop-culture sense. Ever seen the old sitcom Home Improvement? Family Matters? Even more recent shows like George Lopez have a hard-working, wonderful wife who can do all the work around the house, manage a job, take care of the kids, cook, and have fun and always, always be right in any argument. The husband is consistently portrayed as a bumbling idiot who makes mistakes or makes a small error that the wife gets furious about, and even when the wife is obviously wrong the bumbling, idiotic caricature of a husband must apologize and make things right. This is what married men act like? And the women on these comments got mad over this joke?
I did think that this caption was funny, but the comments really annoyed me and I wanted to address the people who took it too seriously.
Firstly, you can’t tell anyone they don’t have a right to criticize … anything. Sorr-eee.
Secondly, no one is trying to disprove religion. Well, I’m not, anyway.
Thirdly, evolution is wrongly described in your diatribe above as “atheistic” . . . some scientists I know are deeply religious. Some aren’t. As you say, science and religion are on two different planes. As they should be, since science deals with evidence, and belief often flies in the face of evidence.
Fourthly, your statement that there is “no more proof of evolution than of Christian Creation” is wrong. Educate yourself. I don’t have all year. I have other points here to refute.
Fifthly, you say that atheists are depending on faith to have a lack of belief in a god, of whom there is no proof. No one has to prove something ISN’T there, for me to think it ISN’T THERE. I will think that an empty box is truly an empty box because my senses tell me so. I’m not using faith; I’m using experience, knowledge, and my senses. Could there be something BEYOND those faculties’ abilities? I suppose, but it doesn’t take *faith* to say with reasonable certainty, “The box is empty”. The burden of proof (and faith) is on the person saying that there’s something in the box, when I have used every test of which I’m aware and shown that there is not.
Sixthly, I’m not so offended by “The Look” (although what a horrid photograph of that woman), as I am by the quaint Neolithic belief that females were created from a part of the male body, subservient to him and there for his needs.
Seventhly, I agree with your assessment of silly sitcoms. That does get old. It’s about time it went the way of the old “I Love Lucy” show–history–that setup, where the wife was the bumbling but loveable idiot, always getting into scrapes, with hubby there to bail her out. Hey . . . wait a minute!
Eigthly, why don’t you stop erroneously attempting to use your less-than-functional brain and put your mouth to good use by gobbling my knob?
“I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure—- that is all that agnosticism means.”
-Clarence Darrow
Atheism is just as narrow and baseless as any other firmly held religious belief. I consider myself agnostic because, while I don’t believe in any particular imaginary friend, I can’t disprove the possibility that one (or many) may exist.
My only criticism is that the vast majority of religious people believe in the imaginary friend they were taught to believe in since they were impressionable children. Not the most objective position to be arguing from….
It is so funny how you people go on an on arguing about something that doesn’t even matter. I mean, obviously all of you are too stubborn to listen an none of you are gonna change your minds so what’s the point?
Mrph? I’m religious and I totally am not seeing what you are seeing. Humor is humor; if you don’t get it, move onto the next lol and keep your goofy attitude to yourself.
Great show, great standup comic, and Watros was seriously the hot although she put on about 25 pounds before the 2nd season, not that there’s anything wrong with girls being a little cushier but I kinda liked the slimmer look better on her.
GOD DOES NOT EXIST AND WE ALL KNOW WOMEN ARE THE BACKBONE OF THE HOUSE
I’m sorry you feel that way, and I will be praying for you.
I do agree with the women thing, though.
Hella yeah!! Haha well about the women backbone part anyway. I’m not gonna say anything about the other part though. I’m not questioning your beliefs but I don’t wanna start another verbal war as has already happened above.
EPIC WIN.
Wow.
I was catching up on captions (since I was without internet for two weeks) and I was absolutely thrilled that one of my pictures made it to the mainpage. It explained why people favoriting me jumped to 213 (I just figured people just recommended this pic to their buddies). THEN I saw the many, many comments people left.
Honestly, I’m disappointed in many people here. Whether they were making very sad, lewd, and juvenile comments for their personal amusement or (inaccurately) launching to conclusions about the basis of the picture, I was reminded of why I no longer circulate certain internet forums (G4, [adult swim]) .
It’s a joke. It’s not supposed to be taken seriously, much less a nod to “phalocentric domination”.
Naoyusimi, I am SORRY for whatever happened in your life that has effected your sense of humor so. I’m not being trying to be a jerk or demean or insult you or anything (that position’s been taken, obviously). I am GENUINELY sorry that you experienced something in that made you look at this picture and immediately go for the jugular (so to speak…from your posts it seems you REALLY aiming a wee-bit south *rimshot*).
It’s over now. No more battling over this belief or that ideology. It’s done. I really don’t appreciate this much needless animosity over something I parodied, intended to ENTERTAIN.
Thank you for your time.
Dear Mr. Morbach,
Please know that I thoroughly enjoyed your caption. It doesn’t matter what my background is, what does matter is that I thought it was funny. Especially since that show (as I stated above) was terrific and was cancelled way too soon. I was as surprised as you were to see one of the funnier captions on this site devolve so quickly into what can only be considered IMHO as muck. Not everybody needs to comment as such, only a few humorously challenged individuals did. ^_^
